The DODGE 5V V-belt is a power transmission component that fits into the grooves of a matching pulley, transferring motion between shafts through friction. It is suited to industrial drives that run continuously and need some vibration damping. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this belt to customers across the United States and in several Latin American countries. To request a quote, send the part number by WhatsApp or email; our team replies promptly and can suggest equivalents or help you choose the right size.

Reading the part number tells you the size. The 5V prefix identifies the belt section: a narrow cross-section of 5/8 inch, intended to carry more power in a smaller footprint than a classic belt. The number that follows, as in R5V2120 or R5V3000, gives the outside length. For that reason, when you order a 5V belt, include the full part number—section plus length—so the size is clear.

Typical applications include fans, centrifugal pumps, screw compressors, mills, screens, conveyor belts, refrigeration equipment, and machine tool drives. In multiple-belt drives, several belts run side by side on the same pulley. In those setups, replace the entire set at once so the load stays evenly distributed among the grooves and no single belt carries more than its share.

Selection starts with the power to be transmitted, the rpm of the driving shaft, and the pulley diameters. Confirm that the pulley section matches the belt section, and that the chosen length leaves enough adjustment in the tensioner. During installation, align the pulleys with a straightedge or laser, tension the belt using the manufacturer's method, and never pry the belt into the groove with tools. Too little tension causes slippage; too much stresses bearings and shafts.

V-belts are interchangeable by section and length: a 5V belt from one maker can replace a 5V belt from another of the same size, provided the section and length match and the profile fits the pulley. Do not mix different sections in one drive, and avoid combining belts with very uneven wear in a multiple set. If the part number is not available, the equivalent is found by size.

If you have the belt part number, send it by WhatsApp or email to MR Industrial Accessories LLC and we will quote it promptly. If you need a variant you cannot find, write to us with the model or size and we will point you to a compatible alternative. We can also advise on the correct section and length for your drive.
